Gentle wafer dicing | Industrial Laser Solutions
Edge grinding can be performed before or after back grinding. Figure 4 shows a 725µm thick silicon wafer that has been grooved before back grinding. When the wafer becomes thin (after back grinding), the knifeedge containing microcracks is separated from the rest of the wafer. A 75µm nozzle has been used and the grooving speed was 50 mm/s.
